Ellen DeGeneres Slays Travel Ban Upon Learning White House Screened ‘Finding Dory’ [Video]

Ellen DeGeneres took the perfect metaphor to speak out against President Donald Trump's travel ban by using Pixar's "Finding Dory," which incidentally, was recently screened by the president for his staff at the White House.

In her opening monologue aired last Tuesday, she first thanked her audience, citing they are the only people not protesting something as of that moment. She mentioned that a lot of protests are going on around the country because of the president's travel ban of seven countries enacted last Friday. She also made mention that those affected included those who have green cards.

Learning that the president screened "Finding Dory" at the White House on Saturday, Ellen said she does not get political but clearly mentioned she is against one of those two things. Instead of being political, she went instead with discussing what "Finding Dory" is about, according to Independent.

Ellen goes on her monologue describing Dory as a fish who is from Australia, clearly alluding that Dory is a potential immigrant. Her parents live in America, she said, citing she does not know what religion they are, citing the father might be Jewish, as an allusion to religion. Dory, Marlin, and Nemo arrives in America only to be greeted by a large wall that she says has no effect in keeping them out, alluding to Trump's U.S./Mexico border wall trump plans to build, Los Angeles Times reported.

Ellen then proceeded to show an ugly looking bird Ellen called Becky, saying she is not important and just a hilarious comedic element that makes for a wonderful storytelling. There was no reaction from the crowd. The audience probably missed the pun that the host might be alluding to the president's counselor.

Ellen then described how Dory was able to make it over the wall only to be separated from her family and helped along the way by various animals, in different colors, with nothing in common with her. Finally, she drove her point by saying, "That's what you do when you see someone in need, you help them."

Ellen did not really have to say much about politics. However, she masterfully encapsulated Trump's executive order on the travel ban within the confines of "Finding Dory" so well that it is almost uncanny.
